The 71st Scottish Universities Summer School in Physics is at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, 21 July to 2 August 2015. SUSSP71 is aimed at early stage researchers and is part of the long-running Scottish Universities Summer Schools in Physics (SUSSP) series.

The speakers for SUSSP71 are:

• Sir Peter Knight, Imperial College, UK
• Peter Zoller, University of Innsbruck, Austria
• Philippe Grangier, Institut d’Optique, Palaiseau, France
• Gerd Leuchs, Max-Planck-Institute for the Science of Light, Erlangen
• Ed Hinds, Imperial College, UK
• Howard Carmichael, University of Auckland, New Zealand
• Ferdinand Schmidt-Kaler, University of Mainz, Germany
• Miles Padgett, University of Glasgow, UK
• Leticia Tarruell, Institute of Photonic Sciences, Barcalona, Spain
• Randy Hulet, Rice University, Texas, USA
• Giovanna Morigi, Saarland University, Germany
• Joachim Brand, Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand

During the last 25 years the emphasis of fundamental quantum physics theory and experiments has shifted from simply generating and measuring quantum systems towards the purposeful control and manipulation of their dynamics. This is mainly driven by the rapidly-developing fields of quantum technologies including metrology, sensing, quantum simulation, and computation. Most of the underlying fundamental physical ideas grew from quantum optics, the first field where it was possible to control the evolution of single quantum entities, atoms or photons. SUSSP71 will provide an intensive programme, with formal lectures and discussion sessions on quantum optics and control of quantum dynamics.
